To all wlw/m. t mag/concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES \MARTIN CARR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Girdles or Corsets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to wearing apparel and .more particularly to girdles.

An object is to provide a hose supporting and bandage supporting device of extreme simplicity and which will be form fitting. An object is to provide a girdle that may be readily applied and removed and which can be easily shifted down from over the hips to permit attachment and detachment of a bandage without disconnecting the girdle.

In the drawings,

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device as worn.

Fig. 2 is a front view.

Fig. 3 is a rear view.

Fig. 4 is a view showing. the unhooked front parts.

Fig. 5 is a perspective of the tabs and an attached bandage passing from front to rear.

Fig. 6 is a able tab.

The girdle consists of a front panel of right and left pieces 2 and 3 having meeting front edges adapted to be secured by any appropriate fastener, as hooks and eyes 4. The front pieces have pendant corners 5 carrying hose Suspenders 6.

From the outer corners of the panels 2 3 extend elastic waist straps 7 which are secured at the rear to the upper portion of a back piece 8. This has hose sus ending strips 9 to engage the rear of hose perspective showing a detach- It will be seen that the girdle provides simple and comfortabe means for supporting the hose, and is easily and quickly applied and removed and presents a neat appearanceand is form-fitting.

A feature consists of means for attachment of a bandage B, Fig. 5. A front piece, as 2, has a tab 10 which, when the pieces 2 50 and 3 are connected,.stands in the front and center. The tab 10 has a hook and eye, or other, means 1'1, for connection with the adjacent pieces. The pieces 2 and 3 are shown as cut with reentrant lower edges 12. The back piece 8 has an arched lower edge and to this is attached a central back tab 13.

When the girdle is worn, the tabs 10 and 13 provide convenient and substantial means for attachment of the bandage B. This can 80 be removed by merely shifting down the elastic girdle without disconnecting the panels 2 and 3.

The tabs may be provided with an elastic portion 14.

Atab is shown in Fig. 6 for attachment andi detachment to a contiguous part ofthe Gir le.

b Further embodiments, modifications and changes may be resorted to within the spirit of the invention as here claimed. l

What is caimed is:

In an'elastic girdle having front and back pieces provided with hose Suspenders, the front pieces being detachably' joined cen- 75 trally of the body, one of said front pieces and the rear piece having fixedly attached thereto elastic banda e supporting tabs, the front tab being provlded with a means for detachably fastening to the adjacent front uece.

l In testimony whereof I have signed my Vname to this s ecication.
